"The CET exam will take place on August 28 and 29. Each subject will carry 60 marks," Deputy Chief Minister C N Ashwath Narayan said at a press conference on Tuesday.
The Maths and Biology exams will be held on the first day while Physics and Chemistry on the second day. Registration will commence from June 15, he said, adding that the PUC marks will not be taken into account. Narayan further said students will be required to score a minimum mark to clear the entrance test.
On the admission to various science courses, Narayan said, "We are considering admitting science students into BSc degree courses through CET. If possible, from this year onwards."
He said some relaxation could be given in view of confusion related to the grace marks given in the PUC second year. The Karnataka government decided to promote the PUC second year students to the next level without holding the exam in view of the disruption caused by the COVID-19.

For specific disabilities, the committee report also suggests “reasonable pedagogical accommodations”. Textbooks, the committee recommends, may be adapted into accessible digital textbooks, or ADTs. “The content of ADTs should be provided in multiple formats (text, audio, video, sign language etc) with turn-on and turn-off features for easier access for the children,” the report says.
